Kobe does it again. Are you suprised?

[21_Blessings]

Almost everyone had the Spurs as the best team of the decade.

No 'everyone' did not.

However, there are many Laker fans like 21_Bas s, _your_mother Buddy, namicantsee, thinking that the Lakers are team of the decade.

4 > 3

4-1

The Lakers are the Team of the Decade. Everyone knows that.

Spurs: Team of the Regular season this decade

[21_Blessings]

By the way how do you up winning back to back 3 times? Shameful.

[BUMP]

This tells me that you have no right to even call yourself a fan at all if you can't believe in your team.

Ohhh noeees you sure showed me on that one

Did you miss out on the word "almost"? I pity Laker fans who are unable to read. Things are still going well in Lala land though. 2005 playoffs missed. If you want to drag out head to head matchups, the Spurs would have stomped you in 2005, 2006, 2007.

[MiamiHeat]

No, I'm not the least bit surprised that golden boy got away with a blatant push-off and subsequently freed himself up for the game winner. Just add it to the list...that's three games recently that the Lakers had handed to them on an egregious no-call late. Bucks: blatant Bryant offensive foul at a critical time of the game; no-call, Kings: Gasol blatantly shoves Thompson to the ground and tips in the game tying basket; no-call.

Lakers fans are either delusional or in denial if they think these wins are positive. They're only positive in the sense that they keep the Lakers atop the race for the best record in the league, but overall, they're an indicator of how overrated this team is. An absolutely awful bench, terrible point guard play, a should be All-Star center who's underutilized because he's playing with the most selfish player in the league and a leading player with a ton of mileage on his body, supposedly banged up, playing major minutes nightly and desperately trying to win a scoring le. Shockingly, despite their talent, this is a middle of the road offensive team and they're slipping by the game defensively. As a Spurs fan, I like everything that's going on with the Lakers right now.

My man, you win the ing prize in this thread.

2005 playoffs missed.

Again with the regular season success. I'd rather the Lakers miss the playoffs than choke in the first round to a sad Dallas team - as the three seed. Embarrassing.

Fact: 4 championships is superior to 3. A three-peat is superior to 3 les with no back to backs. Sorry

Maybe some day San Antonio will become relevant again.

[WalterSobchak]

We would ask the Celtics but they lost to the "not agrresive and not strong" Magic.

now GTFO

131-92

4-2

I forgot about that special LOB trophy for winning back2back or 3peats.

Please post a pic of that special 3peat LOB that the Lakers have. I have yet to see it.

[WalterSobchak]

That's a fact. Another Fact is Dallas >>>>>>> San Antonio. Therefore San Antonio is nowhere near a contender.

Nobody in the West is a contender except for LA and thats not even debatable. The race for 2nd in the West is wide open. I think its so funny that Spur Fan cheers for their team with their eyes closed and think they have a decent shot at winning at all.

Atleast I can admit that my team has no chance against LA.

SpurFan just digs for excuses instead of straight up admitting their team sucks balls

Cool story brah.

[BUMP]

Cool story brah.

But....but.....but.....Manu was injured...we'll show em next year!!!!

[Agloco]

A win is a win. How many effing buzzer beaters has he had this year?

And that's precisely the argument many make against the Lakers being as good as their 24-6 record indicates. Needing a buzzer beater to win against the likes of Milwaukee, Miami and Sacto is less than impressive.

He had 3 buzzer beaters in the first 30-some games last year as well?

this doesn't even make sense.

Michael Jordan hit 25 of them in his career..a bunch of them against crappy teams; and nobody's going to say those Bulls teams were less than impressive. the Lakers just went up 40 points on the #2 team in the West too.

Any crappy NBA team can beat the best NBA team on any given night and any team good or bad can trail by 40 as well.

[The Gemini Method]

While the close calls are concerning, the poise in which Kobe has shown in his GW shot is undeniable. The combination of injuries and a bench that got fat off the starters' success have to really be put in focus. You can also call it championship malaise because of the recent success the Lakers have, but don't discredit their record nor the fact that other top-notch teams are losing to so-called bottom dwellers. I mean, this is the NBA and Sacramento isn't William & Mary. Every team is going to struggle for stretches during the season. I'm just glad its still only January and not closer to playoff time.

[Chieflion]

Lame. I just saw the replay on nba fantasy insider by Rick Kamla and saw the replay. They paused the part where Kobe bumped into Sergio. Kobe hugged Sergio and stepped on his foot, which is why Sergio "flopped".

[skut_farkus]

what did kobe do again?...... rape a white ?

[21_Blessings]

Kobe gave Sergio the Sasha treatment.

Amazing that people need things like this explained to them.
